20th Century Fox, which holds the rights of the license, has indeed filed with the EUIPO the brand "Alien: Blackout" and, yes, it is a video game, with online features . As a reminder, the studio had already announced that it was developing a game in virtual reality, and he recently bought Cold Iron to work on another Alien title, without further details. :o ;D

Indeed!

My bet is on a world infestation.  Maybe earth?  Although they may be animals, they cut the power.  Blackout.

The Old One, you told me to come back December 6, wth man lol, thought you were on top of everything. Alien Blackout sounds great.

So excited!

Blackout...hmm....

"They cut the power."  "What do you mean they cut the power?  How could they cut the power, man?  They're animals!"

I'd fail to believe it's Cold Iron's shooter due to the name of "Alien" instead of "Aliens", however with the Kojima visit and the timing of The Game Awards, I would guess this could be an early reveal. Kojima's been visiting studios recently to see game demos, so would make sense to visit Fox to see how this project is doing if he's a fan of the IP. Interested to know how far along it is since its only been in development for, what, two years at most?

The Game Awards tagline of "Worlds Will Change" is also suspiciously similar to "Building Better Worlds", along with the VHS screen in the original promo art that looks quite Aliens-y. Their promotional video's glitchy animation style is also very similar to that used in Prometheus.

Are we sure it's Alien: Blackout and not Aliens: Blackout?  Anyway, cool name.  You know they mostly come at night... mostly..

Online multiplayer shooter? Count me out then, not wasting my money on that kind of gimmick.

Yes, the trademark is "Alien: Blackout" it's 100% -that, and "ALIEN" not "ALIENS" -bear in mind-

ALIEN The Cold Forge
&
ALIEN Isolation

Both feature multiple Aliens.

Frankly I think of "Aliens" as singularly the title of James Cameron's 1986 seminal picture.
To me, it's the Alien franchise, not the Aliens franchise.
(& Most things that have "Aliens" in the title rather than "Alien" have a habit of being pretty crap IMO.)

I can sympathise, but I hope it's only a component and also features a Campaign- much like the original Bungie Halo titles.

Time for a thread title change, and maybe even new subforum.

When it's confirmed.  :)

QuoteCity blackout? A term for losing contact with a colony or space station/other habitat?

I'd say that's a safe bet! Alien makes me think it's going to be space-based, rather than colony based though.

I wouldn't imagine they'd go to Earth anymore.

As hesitant as I am about the idea of a Destiny-like shooter, I'm going to wait to actually see something before judging it.
